dajogejr Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Yep...they should. You probably have the lubricant you need, WD40, liquid wrench....any of those work fine. They sell tap oil, but to be 100% honest, the aluminum on the carbs is so soft, WD will be fine. MAKE SURE you grind the bosses flat first, then drill and tap them. The locknut will have to lay flat, and the boss is at an angle from the factory. Take about 1/8 inch off...you'll be fine. Quote

dajogejr Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 An angle die grinder or grinding wheel will work. Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 what do u use to file down the carb boss I used a medium and then fine file to do mine... It did not take that long to file down the aluminum boss. I also made a depth gage to ensure the bosses were filed down equally and to ensure the depth was 19mm on each side. Make sure the surface is perpendicular to the hole so the lock nut will contact the whole surface of the idle screw boss. Quote

FireHead Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 but i have another issue it has a sort of popping sound coming from the pipes not loud but u can here it wat causes that could it be bad plug caps or plugs You could have an air leak which is causing the lean condition and the popping. Quote
T-daddy Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Posted March 3, 2008 You could have an air leak which is causing the lean condition and the popping. could the leak from were the pipe connects to the cylinder cause this because wen i rev it up smoke comes from a little spot near the pipe oring do i need no rings and springs Quote
FireHead Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 could the leak from were the pipe connects to the cylinder cause this because wen i rev it up smoke comes from a little spot near the pipe oring do i need no rings and springs No. If you have popping, it's more than likely a misfire or back fire, not an exhaust leak.

airtite Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Hi Guys I hate to seem lazy but the search doesnt work so well for me (seems all the words I use are 4 letters), does anyone have a link to a post explaining what I need to do this idle kit conversion? I just pulled the tors carb tops off yesterday and I was just going to adjust the idling using the non tors tops, thought thats how the tors tops did it? Thanks Quote

I just pulled the tors carb tops off yesterday and I was just going to adjust the idling using the non tors tops, thought thats how the tors tops did it? Thanks There's nothing to adjust in the non-tors top. They're simply a cap for the carb. You need to drill and tap the for the idle screw to hold the slide open enough to allow the engine to idle. It is a tapered screw that allows you to adjust the slide for each carb up and down. Mine had to go into the left side of the left carb and right side of the right carb. I got the TORS delete kit from Jeff at fast and came with everything. Quote
